Hello, first off today we would like to say a very Happy Birthday to our lovely Carol (this is the lady who you will usually speak to on the phone and who posts out all the orders amongst a whole host of other things!)

Carol with our kitty (baby) when she was a kitten (baby, not Carol!)

She's got the day off, it's her birthday and the sun is shining - how good is that?

We have lots of Dinkie stamps on our web now all selling for just £2.00 each and we have added two new ones this week:

We also have added two new dates for our classes in July to our web, we have a super Dinkie class running with Helen N and a new class 'Everything Changes' running with Helen H based on our Changing Tree themes (and a new changing concept to be revealed soon!)

Happy Easter Monday to you! We do hope you have had a wonderful Easter weekend?

We are sharing another project today in our 'Little Claire Likes' feature. We are showcasing the great set 'Lazy Days'. It comes with two great sentiments and two great versatile images including a great fun 'Boxer Shorts' image.

The set is available to buy at the special price of £5.50 (normally £6.50) until Thursday, 24th April

or whilst stocks for the stamp last.

Here is Heidi's card for today. She has included a tag shape along with the images. She has kept the card nice and simple using a tag, kraft card and lots of linen thread. It is very quick and simple for all of those last-minute male cards you need to make.

You can purchase our 'Lazy Days' stamp set at the reduced price of £5.50 (normally £6.50). Just pop over HERE or click on the items below.

(1) On a piece of kraft card measuring - 14cms x 14cms, stamp across 'boxer short' image all over in lines. Edge with inkpad.
(2) Stick some linen thread to bottom of image, stick to front of card and edge card.
(3) Cut one of the tags from the card.
(4) Onto a spare piece of kraft card, stamp up larger image, stick to tag and edge with ink.
(5) Attach linen thread to top of tag, tie a bow.
(6) Stamp up chosen sentiment onto white card, edge with ink and matt onto kraft card.
(7) Stick all elements down onto card.

There is our project for today. Do grab your stamp set at the reduced price whilst stocks last.

2.
On the 3 1/4" x 6 1/2" stamp the small daschunds on left hand square at
bottom. On one of the 3 1/4" x 9 3/4" stamp daschunds at bottom of two
left hand squares . On second 3 1/4" x 9 3/4" stamp largs daschund with
flowers in fisrt left hand square and small daschunds in second left
hand square.

3.Fold each strip and round corners.

4.
Colour in all images using promarkers and then make a light cloud
effect background. This is very easy, I use a cloud shape cut from card
and then pick up a bit of ink on a sponge from a blue ink pad and lighty
dab round my cloud shape moving it as I go across my background.

5. Turn all three pieces over and cover back of each square as shown in photo with pattern paper.

6. Concertina fold all three strips and then glue all three strips together to form one long concertina.

7. Cover tin front and inside lid with patterened paper.

8. Stamp a 3 1/4" x 1" strip of white card with small daschunds and colour in and glue to front of tin.

Firstly, we must announce the winner of our 'Stamp Idea' competition. The winner, whose idea will be turned into a forthcoming new Little Claire stamp is .........

Rebecca Roberts

Well done Rebecca! We will be in touch soon about your idea.

Now to share our 'Little Claire Likes' project with you, and today it is the turn of a very elegant and recently launched stamp 'Silhouette Wedding Couple'. It is just right for all of those wedding cards that need making, now we are in Spring.

Here is the card that Heidi has made using some white card and silver embossing powder.

She has also used one of our new 'Dinky' stamps - 'Camilla', which she has stamped along both sides of the card border and this ties in nicely with the flowers on the front of the card.

You can purchase this stamp at the reduced price of £5.50 (normally £6.50) until Thursday, 17th April or whilst stocks last. Also the little 'Camilla' stamp is only £2.00. You can go via HERE to order the stamps.
